One look and you know why light has to travel so fast. |
Beauty can't wait. And this Scandinavian beauty is going places in a hurry. To keep up with its dynamic design, athletic purpose and surprising agility, engineers at Volvo equipped this highly capable crossover with world first innovations. For example, Volvo's standard City Safety and available Pedestrian Detection* technologies can see road risks ahead and automatically employ full-force braking to help avoid the low-speed faux pas. What's more, powerful turbocharged engines- with a patented, hyper-efficient design -deliver an instant response with the high torque that Volvo engines are known for. But if being smart, swift and powerful isn't enough, there's the attractive beauty.

A commanding view just got better. |
After its superior ride height and curvy coupe design conspire to lure you inside, you'll find that the Volvo XC60 also provides one of the world's most seductive car interiors. Select materials complement modern Scandinavian design with genuine leather upholstery, real wood inlays and state-of-the-art technology readily available. Take the wheel. The perfect driving position is easily found as Volvo seats are easy to adjust and easy to praise. What's more, the tilted center console favors the driver and features the new Volvo Sensus driver-control interface on the built-in screen. The intuitive scroll selector on the steering wheel lets you easily access its menus to personalize settings and take command.

Turbo-charged fun. |
Performance is where innovation gets translated into fun. It's a complicated translation process, but it's safe to say Volvo's turbocharged six-cylinder engine plays a significant role in the T6 AWD. With its 300 horsepower, 325 lb/ft. of torque and ultra-low emissions, you'll find acceleration is instant, torque flows smoothly from gear to gear and fun translates to more fun as fuel goes farther. You can also enjoy the instant power of a sporty 3.2 liter six-cylinder engine with 240 hp and 236 ft-lb of fun-ready torque.

Saving grace: Technology that sees clearly when you can't. |
One split-second distraction is all it takes to realize how fortunate you are to be driving a Volvo. And now with Volvo's innovative Pedestrian Detection* and avoidance technology, your good fortune can also extend to unprotected pedestrians. Using a digital camera and radar to constantly scan the road ahead, shapes identified as people at risk will trigger a warning. More importantly, the system will employ full braking force to stop your vehicle -if you don't. Our experts call it Pedestrian Safety with Full Auto Brake*, but you can simply call it another Volvo Safety world first.

Technology we love: A visionary braking system that can see the future. |
Smart brakes mean confident cruising -at any speed. That's the aim of Volvo's Technology Package*. The core of the system, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) with Queue Assist (at all speeds), goes beyond the basic accelerator management of ordinary cruise control by working with the advanced braking system. The interaction between your car's stop-quicker and go-faster functions managed by ACC -and informed by continuous input from its camera and radar scouts on point -helps you maintain a comfortable speed and a safe distance from vehicles ahead. And that's at any speed -whether in heavy traffic queues or at motorway speeds (0-125 mph). Having this additional functionality can help relieve you from the stop-and-go tedium of any journey. That way, you can just relax and enjoy the drive.

What we know: A rear-end collision is not the best way to meet people. |
With the goal of automatically eliminating the most common (and embarrassing) type of accident -the low-speed (below 19 mph) rear-end collision-Volvo created City Safety. This remarkable collision avoidance and mitigation technology - standard with the Volvo XC60 -uses a closing-velocity laser sensor that tracks the car immediately ahead of you and constantly calculates how much braking force is needed to come to a full stop before meeting them unintentionally. If the system senses an imminent exchange of personal information and insurance forms, it will automatically brake. Clearly, this technology can save you from more than embarrassment. It can help reduce or avoid the impact of a collision.

Innovated for your enjoyment, the Volvo safety technologies will protect more than the fun of driving. |
Across the world, Volvo equals safety. And that comes with good reason, because few carmakers can match our record of safety innovations and the commitment for safety that has guided us for more than 80 years. Of course, this makes us extremely proud. But we're not satisfied. Because we know what we want to achieve: zero accidents. This vision calls for innovative thinking and a brand new approach to the way we design cars. Good news is we've already come a long way. For starters, our cars are more fun and engaging to drive than ever (because a bored driver will never be a safe driver). Neither is the technology needed any figment of the imagination -some are already available. This means driving a Volvo today is like having a first peek at a very exciting automotive future -a future where passionate engineering and design do more to help you get the most out of life. After all, there's more to life than a Volvo. |
